Two properties in coveted Rippleside go under the hammer tomorrow

A VACANT block of land in one of Geelong’s most tightly held suburbs is expected to create a flurry of bids when it goes to auction tomorrow.

The 734sq m block at 19 Victoria St, Rippleside is as rare as hen’s teeth. Selling agent, Tony Young from Whitford, Newtown, said the vacant block of land has been vetted by locals looking to build their own home, but also expects a developers to be on the ground as well.

“It’s a very high demand block,” Mr Young said.

“I’ve had some exciting auctions this year, but this one will be the best,” he said.

Mr Young expects the block to sell around the $600,000 mark.

Three blocks away at 30 Walker St, a renovated, early 1900s cottage with four bedrooms will go under the hammer at 1pm through Hodges, Geelong West.

30 Walker St, Rippleside.

The home is in a traditional layout and has been renovated throughout while retaining period charm such as ornate fireplaces, picture rails and high ceilings.

Selling agent Jeff Begg expects the property to sell on the day, although would not divulge an expected sale price.

“Rippleside is quite an exclusive little pocket and this one’s got a lot of potential,” he said.

There have been 50-60 groups through the property.

There are a total 34 auctions across the region this weekend amid sunny skies.
